As I've said many a time, my BlogTV viewers have been watching me for almost a whole year getting to know the good and bad sides of me whether I like it or not , heh.

Well today was one of the most pleasant surprises that they could have given me and allow me to explain how I saw it:

I was working away trying to learn SketchUp in order to model some maps from 5th Capsule which I have writen some three chapters of, when all of sudden I hear a knock at the office door. My office is deep within the office area , so sometimes I don't hear it. It was one of my students with a GAP bag and non-threatening demenor.

I asked him what it was, to which he replied 'when you open it, you'll know'. I responded quickly with another question : 'will it explode'? He assured me it wouldn't. I took it back to my office and the BlogTV people were there as I was in the middle of broadcasting.

I open it.

Apparently, my fans from the show all got together and bought for my birthday not only an HD 1020pi web cam, but also a brand new Bamboo tablet. They also went so far as to hand write thank you letters and have them all scanned to accompany the gifts. I was shocked.

I still am. I thanked them profusely, and I thank them again.

I have the best fans period. Here's to my fans and one full year on BlogTV, lets start the next year in HD!

That's awesome Omar! But you know, you're just so good to your fans and an all around good guy that it doesn't surprise me that they would want to do something cool for you on your birthday. I only wish I could have contributed! I'm gonna do my best to come by again sometime and see your sweet new camera. I still miss coming to watch your broadcasts

Wish I was apart of that. That was very awesome what they did for you man. I def would of contributed to that, but I haven't caught your blogs in a while. I'm usually at work when you do them now.Anyways, congrats!
